Spring Boot application stops immediately when running in Docker


I'm trying to run a Spring Boot application built with Maven in Docker.

Here's my Dockerfile:

FROM maven AS build
COPY . .
RUN mvn clean package -DskipTests

FROM openjdk:21
COPY --from=build /target/javaapp.jar javaapp.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","--enable-preview","-jar","javaapp.jar"]

And pom.xml:

When I run docker run, the output is:

18:36:52.143 [main] INFO com.example.javaapp.Application -- Started Application in 1.038 seconds (process running for 1.453

The application starts (probably), and immediately stops.

When I run docker ps, the list of running containers is empty.

When I run the code through Idea, everything is working fine.

What could I do to solve the issue?

P.S. I saw some other posts here but none of those works for me.


Solution

  • Fix your pom. You are trying to outsmart the framework and work around it. Don't do things like that.

    1. Use the spring-boot-starter-parent as a parent in your pom.xml.
    2. Replace the maven-shade-plugin with the proper spring-boot-maven-plugin.
    3. Ditch the versions from your dependencies
    4. Remove the incompatible and unnecessary dependencies.
    5. Add spring-boot-starter-test for proper test dependencies

    All of that should result in something like the above.
